RSOC name

I don't think the IAB project model fits very well for the RFC Series
and that it should have different governance for which I have some
ideas. But I wanted to talk about something else: the power of
nomenclature.

The key word in RFC Series Oversight Committee is "Oversight". What do
people think when they hear "oversight"? They think that a large part
the job of whoever has "oversight" is to review and criticize. No
doubt the fine print clarifies things but every time someone thinks
about or volunteers for or is appointed to the RSOC, it rings the
"oversight" gong. Of course there are plenty of worse words than
"oversight". I suppose it could have been called the RFC Series
Management Committee or something...

What if everything else we the same, but it had been called the RFC
Series Support Committee? And everytime someone thought about or
volunteer for or was appointed to the committee they were reminded
that this is about supporting the RFC Series?

Thanks,
Donald
